The time‐harmonic development of the Earth tide generating potential due to the direct effect of the planets Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Saturn has been computed. The catalogue of the fully normalized potential coeffients contains 1483 waves. It is based on the DE102 numerical ephemeris of the planets between years 1900 and 2200. Gravity tides due to the planets computed from the catalogue at the surface of the Earth have an accuracy of about 0.027 pm/s² (1 pm/s² = 10 −12 m/s² = 0.1 ngal) rms and 0.160 / 0.008 pm/s² at maximum in time / frequency domain using the new benchmark tidal gravity series (Wenzel 1994).
